MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) is a commercial extension to the MySQL family of products.

Please do note that MySQL Enterprise Backup v4.0.0. backs up only MySQL server 5.7.
For all previous versions of server i.e. 5.5 and 5.6 please continue to use the MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.12 series.
MEB 4.0. ensures that the Server 5.7 enhancements like the new 32 and 64 K page sizes and general table spaces can also be backed up.
